So, we already knew about ankle socks, worn with everything
from heels to sandals, giving an fashionable edge to the outfits of celebrities
and stylistas at fashion week and beyond, but what about knee-highs? The last time
I wore an over-the-knee sock was at Hammersmith Apollo dressed up for a student
‘School Disco’, but don’t let that put you off. On Wednesday, Taylor Swift
stepped out in New York looking wonderfully leggy and altogether awesome in a
pair of plum knee-high socks, worn with cute scallop shorts, a denim look
shirt, a Dolce & Gabbana shoulder bag and a matching ‘pork pie’ hat. Katy Perry, a long time
advocate for long socks, having worn them several times over the past
year, also wore her black knee-highs in New York and on the same day but for a very different look.
When it comes to knee-high socks, it's hard to forget the iconic look of the girls from the ultimate mall flick 'Clueless' and I sense a little Beverly Hills inspiration, especially in the case of Miss Swift who, with her American prep school style, would fit right alongside Cher and Co.
Other fans of this leggy get-up are Beyonce, Bip Ling, Rihanna, Singer
Songwriter Louisa Rose Allen who shows how to wear them sheer, the always
gorgeous Jessica Alba and Cara Delevingne who is accustomed to kicking off trends and wore her grey long socks casual with high-tops, in June last year. Time to get your socks on.
